India is run by two houses. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha. Earlier we told you which is the most powerful position in Rajya Sabha. Today we will tell you who holds the most powerful position in Lok Sabha and what all he can do. Let us tell you about it in detail.
The most powerful man in Lok Sabha
Many of you might be thinking that when the most powerful person in the country is the Prime Minister, then it is obvious that the most powerful person in the Parliament will also be the PM. But, this is not so. The most powerful post in the Lok Sabha is considered to be that of the Speaker. This is the reason why when there is a coalition government, every party wants that its party should be the Speaker in the Lok Sabha. However, it is not written anywhere that the Speaker is the most powerful post. But his decision-making powers make him the most powerful.
What are the powers of the speaker?
The job of the Lok Sabha Speaker or Lok Sabha Speaker is to oversee the sessions of the Lok Sabha and ensure discipline and decorum among the members. Apart from this, it is also the Speaker’s job to set the agenda for parliamentary meetings and allow proposals like adjournment of Parliament, no-confidence and censure motions.
Apart from this, if someone breaks the decorum of the House, the Speaker has the power to suspend the member for some time or expel him from the Parliament. Whereas under the 10th Schedule of the Constitution, the Lok Sabha Speaker has the power to disqualify members on the basis of defection.
